In this article, we will explore different and easy cocktail recipes for moms that will create a light and enjoyable atmosphere, perfect for spending quality time together.

New York Sour

Is your mom not a big fan of sweet drinks? Then you kiss those sugary cocktails aside and make way for The New York Sour. This offers a delightful alternative for moms who appreciate a sophisticated and well-crafted drink. Its complex flavor profile, with a balanced blend of whiskey, citrus, and red wine, caters to those who enjoy a touch of elegance in their beverage choice.

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of Michter's Kentucky Straight Rye American Whiskey or Wild Turkey 81 Bourbon Whiskey
• 1/8 cup of Fresh lemon juice
• 1.5 tablespoon Simple syrup
• 1/3 cup of Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Golden Tier Claret
• 1 Egg white (optional)
• Lemon zest strip for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. If using egg white, add it to a shaker with ice. Dry shake (without any liquids) for 30 seconds to create a frothy texture.
2. Add the whiskey, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker (with or without egg white, depending on your preference). Fill the shaker with fresh ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds, until well chilled.
3. Strain the mixture into a rock glass filled with fresh ice.
4. Slowly pour the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Golden Tier Claret red wine over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect, allowing the wine to float on top of the cocktail.
5. Express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink and add it to the glass for garnish.

Mom’s Mimosa

Filipinos love celebrating with a light and refreshing drink, and the Mom Mimosa fits the bill perfectly. Chilled orange juice meets bubbly champagne or the Bottega Millesimato Prosecco Brut, creating a delightful beverage ideal for brunches, afternoon get-togethers, or any occasion where you want to raise a glass with Mom.

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce Chilled Bottega Millesimato Prosecco Brut
• 4 ounces Chilled Orange Juice
• Garnish (optional): Orange slice or twist

Instructions:

1. Fill a champagne flute or mimosa glass with ice (optional). Swirl the ice around the glass to chill it, then discard the ice.
2. Add 4 ounces of chilled orange juice to the glass. Freshly squeezed orange juice is ideal for the best flavor, but high-quality store-bought juice works too.
3. Gently pour 1 ounce of chilled prosecco over the orange juice. The key is to maintain the bubbly character of the drink, so avoid pouring too forcefully.
4. Add a festive touch by garnishing your mimosa with a fresh orange slice or twist.

Sparkling White Peach Bellini

This drink is perfect for warmer weather, like what we’ll surely be experiencing during Mother’s Day here in the Philippines. The combination of Bottega Poeti Prosecco wine and peach puree creates a light and bubbly beverage that's easy to sip and won't leave Mom feeling weighed down.

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce Peach Purée (fresh or store-bought)
• 4 ounces Chilled Bottega Poeti Prosecco wine
• Garnish (optional): Peach Slice

Instructions:

1. Make sure your wine is chilled for the best experience. If using fresh peaches, you'll need to make the purée first.
2. If using fresh peaches, wash, pit, and roughly chop them. In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped peaches with a tablespoon or two of water to help them blend smoothly. Blend until you have a smooth purée. Strain the purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any large chunks.
3. Pour the peach purée into a chilled champagne flute or coupe glass.
4. Gently pour the chilled prosecco or sparkling wine over the peach purée, letting it slowly fill the glass.
5. For a touch of elegance, add a fresh peach slice to the rim of the glass.

Tip: If the purée settles at the bottom, give it a quick stir before adding the wine.

Bee’s Knees

Who else compares to your mom? She's undoubtedly the Bee's Knees. So, why not prepare a delicious homemade meal and set the table with her favorite flowers? After dinner, suggest making cocktails. Knowing Mom enjoys a well-crafted drink without overly sweet or fruity flavors, opt for the classic Bee's Knees.

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces Beefeater London Dry Gin
• 3/4 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1/2 ounce Honey Syrup
• Garnish (optional): Lemon Twist

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine equal parts honey and water (e.g., 1/2 cup each). Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let cool completely before using. Store leftover syrup in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
2. Fill a shaker with ice. Add the gin, lemon juice, and honey syrup to the shaker.
3. Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
4. Strain the Bee's Knees cocktail into a chilled coupe glass.
5. Express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink (by twisting the peel over the glass and then discarding it) and add the peel to the glass for a decorative touch.

Lone Ranger

A Lone Ranger cocktail is perfect for Mother's Day because its refreshing blend of citrus and tequila celebrates her strength and individuality with every sip. It has a clean and slightly sweet flavor profile that blends well with the other ingredients in the cocktail. It won't overpower the drink and allows the other flavors to shine through.

The secret to this cocktail? Espolon Blanco Tequila, also known as silver tequila! It gives it that kick off flavor that even mom will enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ ounces Blanco Tequila
• 1 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
• ½ ounce Rich Simple Syrup
• 2 ounces Bottega Rose Gold Spumante Brut Rose wine
• Garnish: Lemon Twist

Instructions:

1. Make sure all your ingredients are chilled for the best results.
2. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the Blanco tequila, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake well for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
3. Strain the cocktail mixture into a chilled Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Gently pour the Bottega Rose Gold Brut Rose wine over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect.
4. Express the oils from a lemon peel over the drink (by twisting the peel over the glass and then discarding it) and add the peel to the glass for a decorative touch. Raise a glass and enjoy your Lone Ranger with your mom.
